North Carolina has three potential top 20 picks
Posted May 12, 2019
NBC Sports’ Rob Dauster ranked three Tar Heel players - Coby White, Nassir Little, and Cameron Johnson - among the top 17 players for June’s NBA Draft, meaning that all three could be in play for the lottery, though the likelihood of all three players doing that isn’t great. Even so, Dauster projected that two Tar Heels would go in the lottery.
